ABSTRACT

This report describes the second phase of the development of a tubularfabric filter device . An earlier report was issued in September, 1981 (UCLA-ENGR-81-41) and describes the first phase of development .

In the second phase evaluation of two of the three original methods ofbackwashing/filtration continued with increased experimental control overlonger periods of operation . A second type of feed water, containing only ACroad test dirt was evaluated, and two additional fabrics, a fire hose linercalled Type IV, and a new membrane material, called Type V, were introduced .

No improvements in backwashing efficiency were obtained with the crossflow technique during the second phase . Extended runs were performed with thereverse flow technique, resulting in run times of several hundred minutes .Gradually declining fluxes were noted and were not correctable by simplebackwashing . To determine if the declining fluxes were reversible, two sec-tions of Type I fabric were removed from the filter and washed in an ordinarywashing machine with BIZ enzyme detergent and hot water . The enzyme detergentwash restored most of the original filter flux .

The detergent plus AC road test dirt was the most severe feed water andfouled the filter fabrics many times faster that the dirt-only feed water .The Type I fabric was the most effective fabric for filtration and was moreeasily backwashed than the Type IV . The Type V fabric did not sufficientlyreduce turbidity to be an effective filter . The lack of efficiency was prob-ably due to leakage at the tube seam, which was also problematic with Type IIand Type III fabrics in the previous phase .

The last part of the phase investigated pretreatment of feed waters withcoagulants to precipitate and destabilize the detergent and road dirt parti-cles . Coagulation with aluminum sulfate with pH control using concentratedsodium hydroxide was very effective, extending filter run time beyond athousand minutes, but coagulant and sodium hydroxide requirements were highand may be too high for some mobile military applications .

INTRODUCTION

This report describes the second phase of the development of a tubular

fabric filter device . An earlier report was issued in September, 1981 (1) and

describes the first phase of development .

The objectives of both investigations were to develop the concept of a

light weight filter to be used in removing colloidal and suspended materials

from laundry and shower wastewaters as well as natural waters . The filtered

water would then be suitable for use as feed water for reverse osmosis or for

direct recycle applications . The use of a fabric filter media is critical to

the success of this project, since the filter must be sufficiently light and

compact to be transported easily by truck or air cargo .

The tubular fabric concept also has significant advantages over granular

media filters because of media surface area savings . Since the fabric filter

mechanism is predominately a surface phenomena, the fabric filter does not

require a deep media, and a sheet of fabric, perhaps 1/32 to 1/4 inch thick,

provides excellent filtration efficiency . Particle removal occurs at the

fabric surface or within the fabric itself . Conversely, granular filters

require deep filter beds since deep floc penetration is required for economi-

cal operation .

To obtain economical fabric filter operation, backwashing techniques

using a small water volume are required . This need results from the limited

volume available to store materials removed from the wastewater, and if the

materials are not removed from the filter surface, blinding can occur very

rapidly . After effective backwashing techniques are developed, the fabric

7

filter will provide a large area savings over granular filters . To show this

difference in superficial area (surface area required for a filter device, not

the area available for filtration) Table 1 shows the ratio of area required

for a granular filter to the area required for a fabric filter, at various

filtration rates (flow rate per unit of filter area) which illustrates the

superficial area savings .

+Numbers represent ratios of the superficial area of the tubular filterto superficial are of the granular filter . Numbers greater than unityshow as area savings for the tubular fabric filer . (For example : assum-ing a granular filtration rate of 6 GPM/ft (column 1) and a tubularfabric filtration rate of 0 .5 GPM/ft (column 6), the fabric filterequipment would require one-eight the area required of the granular mediafilter .)

In the first phase of the project three types of fabric were evaluated

with three types of filtering/contacting methods . The most successful method

was reverse filtration (externally pressurized) where the liquid flowed from

the outside of the fabric tubes to the inside, where it exited the unit as

8

Page 10: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

product water . Operation in this fashion required that the tubes be supported

from within and that a reverse pressure gradient be developed . Backwashing

was accomplished by pressurizing the inside of the tubes, reversing the flow,

which expanded the fabric pores allowing the entrapped solids to be removed .

Cross flow and closed-end filtration (internally pressurized) were less effec-

tive and it was not possible to effectively remove the trapped solids and

restore filter flux.

The second phase of the investigation was initiated with the objective

of further evaluating the effectiveness of backwashing techniques, with par-

ticular emphasis on the reverse flow method . A second objective was to evalu-

ate fabric life and two additional fabric types .

To further evaluate the reverse flow technique it was necessary to con-

struct a new experimental apparatus, which would apply uniform, constant

filtering and backwashing pressures . In the earlier phase it was necessary to

use a pulsating suction pump to create negative gage pressures on the inside

of the filter tubes during reverse filtration . The pulsating nature of the

flow caused the filters to vibrate, which reduced filtration efficiency .

Two new columns were constructed to permit positive gage pressure to be

applied to both side of the filter fabric . Additionally, the dead volume of

the columns was reduced to allow for more precise measurements of operating

conditions .

9

Page 11: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

The experimental apparatus used in this phase was conceptually very

similar to the_ original apparatus described earlier (1), although a number of

mechanical modifications and refinements were made . The major modifications

were a reduction in the size of the filter volume and closure of the entire

filter vessel to allow pressurization .

Fabric Types

The Type I fabric described in the earlier report was also used in this

phase . It is a medium weave polyester which has easily discernible weave but

very few observable imperfections . It is woven without a seam in continuous

lengths . The second fabric used is a commercial fire hose liner and is

called Type IV, and is more coarsely woven and much thicker than Type I

fabric . It is a polypropylene material and is woven without a seam in con-

tinuous lengths . The third type of fabric is a thin membrane fabric which has

a theoretical pore size of 5 microns, and is woven in sheets, which required

cutting and sewing to provide a tubular structure . This material is called

Type V . Fabric Types II and III were used in the previous phase (1), and were

not used in this phase . All fabrics were supplied by the Naval Civil

Engineering Laboratories to UCLA.

The Type I material was selected for continued development because of

its success in the earlier phase and its low cost . Type IV fabric was

evaluated because it had better structural properties allowing it to be used

with higher pressures . Type V fabric was evaluated in hope that it would allow

easier backwashing due to its thin woven structure . Figure 1 shows the three

10

fabric types .

Apparatus Descrivtion,

Two new filter columns were constructed from plexiglass tubing, 4 inch

i .d . by 1/4 inch wall thickness . The columns were fitted with flanges and "0"

rings on both ends, and sampling taps were made through the column

each flange . A special set of flanges was made to fit between the column

flange and outermost flange to provide support for the filters and a passage

way for filtered water . Several different combinations were used until a

satisfactory arrangement was found . Leakage was frequently a problem and was

caused by the variations in tube diameter . Figure 2 shows the final flange

arrangement used in the phase .

The filter was repiped to allow one pump to provide both feed water and

backwash water . The centrifugal circulating pump was retained to allow cross

flow operation . Figure 3 shows the apparatus and Figure 4 is a schematic

diagram of the filter with its associated pumps and instrumentation . The

apparatus is completely contained on a single rolling platform, with the

exception of the feed tank .

The fabric tubes were 5 .33 ft long and provided a surface area normal to

flow of 1 .40 ft 2 . The tubes were attached to the end flanges with a ribbed

hose adapter and secured with worm-gear hose clamps . In the earlier phase it

was discovered that leakage occurred when using smooth hose adapters . To

assemble the filter without over stretching the fabrics, each tube was cut

about 1 inch longer than the space between flanges, to provide sufficient

slack .

To operate the filter, the reservoir was first filled with tap water and

allowed to stand until it reached room temperature, which was in the range of

65 to 75‚C . The main feed pump, a Viking gear pump with variable speed DC

motor, was adjusted to provide the desired flow rate . In the earlier phase a

range of filtration rates were evaluated . For all tests performed in this

phase, filtration rate was held constant at 0 .5 GPM/ft2 . This was done in

order to minimize experimental variables and concentrate on evaluation of

fouling rate and backwash efficiency . For the cross flow mode the initial

filtration rate was 0 .5 GPM/ft2 , but declined to nearly zero as the test pro-

gressed, due to fouling of the fabrics .

The contaminants were introduced on the discharge side of the Viking

pump using a variable speed Masterfiex peristaltic pump . Concentrated con-

taminant solution was made by adding 123 .0 grams of "AC" road dirt and 532 .0

grams of military detergent to 40 liters of tap water . For "dirt-only" waste-

water, only the AC road dirt solution was added . Any desired contaminant con-

centration could be obtained by changing the Masterflex pump flow rate . The

normal flow rate to obtain 636 mg/l detergent and 147 mg/l dirt concentration

was 0 .0682 GPM (252 .9 ml/min) of concentrated contaminant solution . For the

detergent plus road dirt wastewater, the average turbidity was 24 .5 NTU, rang-

ing from 23 to 26, and the pH averaged 8 .6 . For the road dirt only wastewater

the turbidity averaged 15 . NTU, ranging from 14 to 16 . The pH of the dirt only

wastewater was not changed from the pH of the tap water used in making it, and

ranged from 6 .8 to 7 .0 .

The road dirt is a product manufactured by the AC spark plug division of

General Motors from an Arizona clay source . It is a standard material for use

16

Page 18: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

in evaluation of air cleaners in simulated driving conditions . The road dirt

is manufactured by sizing clay dust and the particle size distribution is

shown in Table 2 .

The military detergent is a nonionic detergent used regularly by several

branches of the military for laundries . An exact analysis of the detergent

was not available, but the specifications are shown in Table 3 . The military

detergent was selected for evaluation with AC road dirt because it resembles

the wastewaters expected in field application .

available in time for the phase, was required to precisely control the fil-

tration and backwashing cycles . Backwashing was normally performed with tap

water, since no storage was available for product water . Both the Viking gear

pump and the centrifugal pump were used for backwash .

A typical filter test would begin early in the morning after filling the

feed reservoir on the previous day . Elapsed time was monitored by stop-watch

and manual recordings were made throughout the test . The time for backwashing

was not included in elapsed time . Samples for analysis were collected and

stored at room temperature for periods of several minutes up to several hours .

Many of the tests were continued into subsequent days if the filter clogging

rate was low . In these cases the filter was shut down with the column filled

with feed solution and operation was resumed the next day .

Analytical Methods,

The basic analytical method used in this procedure was turbidity, and

was measured on a HF Model DBT 100 Turbidity meter . Standardization was per-

formed at the beginning of each day's analysis . Total Organic Carbon (TOC)

and Total Oxygen Demand (TOD) analysis were performed on an Ionics Model 1270

Analyzer . Calibration was performed during each series of analyses . Normal

procedure was to remove inorganic carbon (dissolved C0 2 and carbonates) by

acidifying the sample to pH 1 .0 or less with hydrochloric acid and stripping

with high purity nitrogen gas . In early analyses it was noted that stripping

removed a significant quantity of detergent ; at this point it was decided to

change to Total Carbon (TC) analysis, which was performed on the same instru-

ment, but without stripping and acidification .

19

Page 21: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

Surface tension was measured on a Fisher Tensiomat device, Model 21

calibration against deionized tap water . Flow rates and pressure changes were

measured with rotometers and process-quality pressure gages . Flow meters were

calibrated manually by measuring the time required to fill a container of

known volume . The pressure gages were not calibrated, but several gages were

selected of the same manufacture and type which gave identical readings for

identical pressures . The same gages were used throughout all tests .

Fouling tests were performed with Whatman glass fiber filters, type

GF/C . The normal procedure was to collect filtered water during the tests for

analysis after test completion . Tests of unfiltered and filtered water were

run simultaneously to eliminate the effects of differences in vacuum pressure .

The glass fiber filters were placed in Gilman 47 mm filter holders and

attached to a standard laboratory vacuum pump . Test solution was poured into

the filter flask and allowed to filter until a specific volume was passed . The

time required for filtration was recorded, and was indicative of the water's

fouling properties which would occur in a reverse osmosis process .

Coagulation tests (jar tests) were performed on a six spindle gang

stirrer using one liter beakers . Normal procedure was to add the desired

coagulating chemicals to each one-liter beaker containing wastewater, then mix

simultaneously at high rate (100 rpm) for 20 seconds, then flocculate for 20

minutes at a very gentle mixing rate (30 rpm), then turn off the stirrer and

allow the mixture to settle for 30 minutes . When pH control was used, the

coagulants were added and mixed on a magnetic stirrer while adding sodium

hydroxide to raise the pH to the desired level . After obtaining the desired

pH, the beaker was placed on the gang stirrer .

20

Page 22: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

Modes of Operation

The filter was originally operated in three modes : closed-end, cross

flow, and reverse flow . The closed-end and cross flow are internally pressur-

ized while the reverse flow is externally pressurized . The closed-end method

was the simplest procedure . Liquid was pumped into the top of the column and

all liquid must flow through the filter fabric . Consequently, this method was

a constant flow, increasing pressure method . Backwashing was accomplished by

reversing flow . This method was the least successful of the three methods in

the first phase, and was not selected for further development in the second

phase .

The cross flow method extends the closed-end method by allowing the

influent flow to return to a collection vessel . Liquid from the collection

vessel was pumped back into the column with a high-volume centrifugal pump,

which increased the velocity and turbulence inside the filter tubes . It was

hoped that the high cross flow velocities would scour the inside of the

filters and prevent the build up of solids . The internal area of the fabric

tubes available for liquid flow was 0 .3479 in2 , after deducting 0 .4375 in2

used for the internal supports . The Reynolds number was 6000 . For two of the

cross flow tests conducted in this phase, a length of 1/2 inch PVC pipe

(external diameter 7/8 in) was inserted into the fabric tubes, reducing the

internal area, and increasing turbulence to a Reynolds number of 11,300 . It

was hoped that the increased turbulence would maintain fabric permeability .

Backwashing was performed in the same manner as in the closed-end method .

21

Page 23: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

In the experimental set-up used for cross flow operation, the total flow

to the filter (influent and cross flow) was maintained at a constant value ;

however, flow through the filter fabric declined with increased clogging .

System pressure increased during the test . This resulted in increasing pres-

sure, declining rate operation . An alternate method of cross flow operation,

which controls the flow of return liquid, ensuring constant filtration rate

was not attempted, since a flow controller was not available .

The reverse-flow method was entirely different than the previous two

methods since liquid was introduced on the outside of the fabrics and flowed

radially inward through the fabric . The valving of the experimental apparatus

was designed to permit flow direction change without disassembling the filter .

To backwash, liquid was introduced inside the tubes, and flowed entirely

through the fabric . The procedure was termed reverse flow because it was very

similar to closed-end operation, with the location of the wastewater and

backwash water reversed .

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Experiments were performed on the Type I and Type IV fabrics in a sys-

tematic way to provide an evaluation of two filter modes (reverse and cross

flow) and two wastewaters (detergent plus road dirt and road dirt only) .

Additionally, coagulated detergent/dirt wastewater was filtered in the reverse

flow mode with Type I fabric . Washed Type I fabric was evaluated once in the

reverse flow mode with detergent/dirt wastewater, and the new membrane

fabric, Type V, was evaluated once in the reverse flow mode with

detergent/dirt wastewater .

Tvve I_ Fabric Figures 5-7 show the results of Test 1 (reverse flow, Type I,

and detergent plus AC road dirt), indicating pressure drop, effluent turbi-

dity, and total volume filtered . Tabular data for this filter test and others

not shown in the text are included in Appendix A.

Figure 5 shows the effluent turbidity versus time . The filter reduced

the turbidity from the influent value of 24 .5 NTU to an minimum of approxi-

mately 5 NTU during the first 12 cycles, and declined to less than 4 NTU in

the last 6 cycles . Average effluent turbidity was approximately 6 NTII . The

separate "peaks and valleys" represent complete filter cycles, including

backwashes . The time included for backwashing was not included in elapsed

time . The initial decline in turbidity with subsequent increase is charac-

teristic of many filters which have "dynamic" membrane or filter media for-

mation . Granular media (sand, coal, and garnet sand) filters also show this

behavior, as well as many other types of filters and reverse osmosis mem-

branes . The filtered material which collects on the surface of the fabric

acts as a filter itself, and increases removal efficiency . After a short

period the pressure drop increases and forces turbidity causing material

through the fabric . This behavior is also typical of other types of filters .

Figure 6 shows the pressure drop as a function of time . Back washing

restores the pressure drop to the static pressure loss, as shown in the fig-

ure, and with other types of filters it is normally a sign of excellent

backwashing ; however, it is not indicative of backwashing performance for this

investigation, since the backwashing requires depressurizing the filter . Res-

tarting the filter will always reduce the pressure to the static pressure

drop, even if no filter cleaning has occurred .

backwash efficiency is the time required to build up pressure from zero to a

small positive value . A comparison of the pressure increase per unit time from

the start of a test to the end of a test is an indication of back washing

efficiency . For tests evaluated hereafter, the rate of pressure change will be

calculated as the increase in pressure over the first 10 minutes of operation

after backwashing . Initial rate of increase for reverse-flow and cross flow

operation are not comparable, since actual filtration rate can be different .

For test 1, the initial rate of pressure change in the first 10 minutes

of operation was 0 .13 PSI/min . In the middle of the test (275-285 minutes

elapsed time), the rate of pressure change increased to 0 .30 PSI/min ., and at

the termination of the test, the rate of change was 0 .94 PSI/min . This

increasing trend in the rate of pressure change indicates incomplete backwash-

ing, and results in short filter runs and reduced filtered volumes . Test 2

was essentially a duplicate of test 1 and shows a similar increasing trend in

rates of pressure change .

Washed Tvve I_ Fabric To determine if the increasing trend in rate of

pressure increase was reversible, the fabrics used in test 2 were removed,

allowed to dry, then washed in an ordinary washing machine with a hot water

wash and a warm water rinse, using BIZ enzyme detergent . Figure 8 shows the

pressure versus time curve, which is analogous to Figure 4, except that only

two filtration cycles were made . The initial rate of pressure change was 0 .16

PSI/min and increased to 0 .26 PSI/min . for the second cycle, thus indicating

an almost complete restoration of permeability . It is not clear that the

washing alone restored permeability, because the drying process produced a

28

Page 30: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

backwashing . Pressure drops were not allowed to increase above the 2 to 3 PSI

range, as compared to the previous phase were pressure drops as high as 15 PSI

were used .

Type I Fabric Figures 17 and 18 show the results of test 4 using detergent

plus AC road dirt wastewater . Turbidity was reduced from the influent value of

24 .5 NTU to 5 NTU, which was comparable to operation in the reverse flow mode .

The initial rate of pressure change was 0 .08 PSI/min ., and increased to 0 .28

for the third filter cycle . Figure 19 shows the total accumulated volume of

product water for the three cycles .

In the cross flow mode it is important to note that the accumulated

volume relation is not a linear function of time, as it is in reverse flow

operation; this results because there was no flow regulator on the exit end

of the fabric tubes to maintain a balance between flow through the filter and

recirculation flow . Also it was difficult to precisely control the filter

with cross flow operation which was also due to this .variable flow split . For

test 4 the total accumulated product volume was less than the water volume

required for backwash . Results for test 10, at the same conditions, except

with AC road dirt only wastewater, were similar to results from other tests,

in that fouling was less severe, and effluent turbidities were lower . Initial

rate of pressure change was 0 .02 PSI/min . and increased to 0 .09 PSI/min for

the second filter cycle .

fine layer of white powdery material on the fabric surface, which could be

removed by brushing or scraping .

Filtration of the AC road dirt only wastewater produced similar results

as the detergent containing wastewater, although clogging was less severe .

Figures 9-11 show turbidity, pressure drop and accumulated volume versus

time for test 9 . The turbidity was reduced from 15 NTU to an average of 2 NTU

after dynamic media formation . The initial pressure drop was 0 .05 PSI/min .

and increased to 0 .18 PSI/min . in the second cycle . Dynamic media formation

occurred very quickly . Effluent turbidity was lower because of the absence of

the detergent .

Type IV Fabric Reverse flow operation with the Type IV fabric was less suc-

cessful than with the Type I fabric, in that less efficient backwashing was

obtained . Figures 12-14 show the results of test 5 using the Type IV fabric,

reverse flow, and detergent plus AC road dirt wastewater . The initial rate of

pressure increase was only 0 .045 PSI/min ., but increased to 0 .52 PSI/min for

the sixth filter cycle . Backwashing only partially restored permeability .

Dynamic media formation-was a much more important mechanism as shown in Figure

12 . Initially effluent turbidity was 12 NIU, which was only a 50% reduction

from the influent turbidity of 24 .5 NTU. After approximately 40 minutes

elapsed, a sufficiently large layer of filtered material was depositied within

the fabric to increase filtration efficiency to rates comparable to the

results obtained with Type I fabric, producing an effluent turbidity of 4 NTII

minimum .

Type IV fabric with AC road dirt only wastewater shows analogous results

to the results obtained with Type I fabric . Figures 15 and 16 show turbidity

and pressure drop for test 11 . Initial rate of pressure increase was only

0 .03 PSI/min, but increased to 0 .20 for the second filter cycle, indicating

incomplete back washing . Effluent turbidities were again low due to the

absence of detergent .

Type V .Fabric Results with Type V fabric were disappointing in that very

little turbidity was removed . Turbidity was reduced from the influent value

of 24 .5 NTU to 22 NTU, which was only a 5 % reduction . Pressure increased to

only 1 .7 PSI, which was less than any other test without coagulated feed

water . This was a surprising result since 95% of the AC road dirt particles

were larger that the 5 micron membrane size . The only explanation for the low

turbidity removal and low pressure increase was leakage at the seams, which

also occurred with Types II and III fabrics in the previous phase . No visible

leakage could be observed at the seams . A color dye test might confirm this

hypothesis if future development of this fabric is needed .

Cross Flow Results

Cross flow results showed very little improvement over results obtained

in the previous phase . Longer run times were obtained in this phase than in

the previous phase, but were largely due to lower filtration rates . In this

phase all filtration rates were held as close as possible to 0 .5gal/ft2-min .

In the previous phase rates as high as 2 .Ogal/ft2-min were evaluated . Also

pressures were kept lower in this phase in the hopes that contaminant material

would not be forced deeply into the fabrics were it could not be removed by

Tyne f Fabric Figures 20 and 21 show the results of test 7 with Type IV

fabric and detergent plus AC road dirt wastewater . Initial rate of pressure

increase was 0 .02 PSI/min . and increased to 0 .27 PSI/min . for the second

filter cycle . Total accumulated volume for the two filter cycles was 75

gal/ft2 . Backwashing did not restore fabric permeability .

Coagulation/Flocculation Re n sJar Tests

A large number of coagulation and flocculation tests were performed in order

to develop a method of breaking the stability of the detergent . A method was

reported previously by Deane (2) to remove synthetic detergents by first

reacting the detergent with a water-insoluble, high molecular weight, anionic

surface active oil, which produces an emulsion which can be broken by conven-

tional metallic coagulants . Straight forward coagulation

fate (alum) was also attempted .

Figure 22 shows the results of a series of jar tests with varying

dosages of alum expressed as A1+3 . Expressing alum dosages in aluminum concen-

tration eliminates confusion since no weight of hydration is included . It

should be noted that 1 .0 mg/1 of Al+3 is equivalent to 12 .7 mg/l of Al2(So

4 ) 3 1

and 22 mg/l of A12(S04)3 x 14 H2O . (Reagent grad alum is purchased as 16

hydrate, but commercially available alum averages about 10% less than the

theoretical value, or about 14 hydrate .)

Several distinct and repeatable trends were noted throughout the jar

testing . The turbidity always increased after the initial alum addition, and

this was most probably due to the reactions of alum with the phosphates

present in the detergent .

phase was not available, but specifications for Type I military detergent,

shown previously in Table 3, require-that total phosphate content (as P), be

between 7 .6 and 8 .7% by weight . Orthophosphate content must be less than 2%

(as P205 )

After additional alum was added to the detergent containing wastewaters,

the aluminum phosphate crystals and AC road dirt particles were effectively

coagulated and formed a fine floc which settled within the 30 minute settling

period . The resulting decline in turbidity was approximately 50%. Surface

tension did not decline, indicating that very little detergent was removed .

Sodium sulfonate was added as a emulsion breaker to aid in coagulation

as described in the procedure outlined by Deans (2) . The results of a pH con-

trolled jar test using the emulsion breaker and alum are shown in Figure 23 .

In this test pH was controlled at 6 .5 and emulsion breaker dosage was varied

from 0 .0 to 20 .0 mg/l . Alum dosage was held constant at 50 mg/1 (as A13) .

Figure 24 shows these results of a third set of jar tests . This set of tests

differs from the previous set in that 10 mg/l of sodium sulfonate was added to

each beaker and the alum dosage was varied .

Addition of the emulsion breaker lowered the resulting product turbidity

due to increased detergent removal . Turbidity removal was approximately 85%

for the optimum dose of alum and sodium sulfonate . It is interesting to note

that the range of beneficial coagulant aid dosage was quite narrow, and higher

or lower dosages resulted in final turbidity higher than that which would have

been obtained without the aid .

Coagulation/Filtration Results,

Two filtration tests were performed to determine the effectiveness of

fabric filtration after coagulation with alum and sodium sulfonate To obtain

sufficient quantities of wastewater, the entire influent tank (375 liters) was

filled with tap water . Detergent and AC road dirt were added to the tank and

the contents were throughly mixed . After mixing alum and sodium sulfonate

were added and the tank was remixed for one minute . Mixing speed was then

reduced and the tank was flocculated for the next 20 minutes . A fluffy white

floc formed which settled and resulted in the formation of an 8 inch sludge

blanket . For test 12 the pH of the mixture was not controlled, and the final

pH was 4 .0 .

In should be noted that the results of the tank coagulation/flocculation

procedure was not nearly as good as the results obtained with the jar tests .

This resulted primarily because the mixing in the tank could not be maintained

as uniform as that obtained in the jar tests . The turbidities obtained in the

tank tests were routinely in the 4 to 6 NTII range, which was much higher that

the 1 to 1 .5 NTII obtained in the best jar tests .

Figure 25 shows turbidity versus time and pressure versus time for

reverse flow operation with Type I fabric . Turbidity was reduced from the

influent value of 24 .5 NTU to 6 NTII after coagulation and sedimentation to

less than 2 .0 NTII after filtration . As can be seen from the pressure drop

data in Figure 26, the first filter cycle lasted over 650 minutes, which was

longer than 17 filter cycles without coagulation (as compared to test 1) . The

initial rate of pressure increase was 0 .05 PSI/min ., but declined to a stable

value of approximately 0 .008 PSI/min . after about 40 minutes of filtration .

51

Page 53: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

The reason for the high initial rate is unknown, but may be due to air blind-

ing . The scatter in turbidity values shown in Figure 25 occurred as a result

of starting and stopping filtration to prepare and coagulate more feed waste-

water .

Effluent turbidities were consistently lower than those obtained in

other filtration tests, and occurred as a direct result of coagulation .

Influent turbidity for the non-coagulated influent ranged from 23 to 26 NrU

for tests 1 through 11, in contrast to 4 to 6 for tests 12 and 13 . Other fil-

tration tests produced effluents with turbidities less than 2 NrU and occa-

sionally less that 1 .0 NrU, but comparing the average effluent turbidities

over all filter cycles for each test, no other test produced an effluent

better than test 12 . Cross flow tests operated at low system pressure also

produced low turbidities, but this was a primarily a manifestation of the

lower pressure than the filtration mechanism . If the system pressure for test

12 had been lower, turbidities would have also been lower . This results from

the imperfections in the Type I fabric, which expand at higher pressure and

allow the influent to leak into the effluent .

An unique phenomena occurred in test 12 ; alum floc coated the surface

of the fabric and formed a cake which was approximately 1/16 inch thick . The

filter cake was only partially removed by the normal backwashing procedure .

Figure 27 is a photograph of the filter tubes at the end of the first backwash

cycle . The filtered material can be seen in broken cakes on the fabric sur-

face . Further back washing was attempted using air with flow rates as high as

4 .6 SCFM/ft 2 . A combination of pulsing air and backwash water, shown in Fig-

ure 28, loosened most of the filter cake, but particles remained loosely

attached to the filter surface, as if they were being held by small fibers . A

large number of cake particles could be seen vibrating relative to the fabric

surface during the air backwash, but could not be removed .

After backwashing the rate of pressure change was 0 .02 PSI/min., which

was slightly higher that the original rate of change . The contribution of the

unremoved cake particles to increased pressure build-up was unknown, since

they appeared to be loosely attached to the filter surface . It was

hypothesized that liquid could flow around the particles, and that the cake

particles contribution to pressure build-up was low . Further developments in

backwashing would be required to provide more mechanical vibration and shock

to the fabric in order to loosen the filter cake .

Figures 29 and 30 show the results of test 13, which was virtually the

same as test 12, except that the pH was controlled to 6 .5 . The turbidity and

pressure drop versus time relations were very similar to results obtained in

test 12, except that the first cycle was approximately 10% longer . Rates of

pressure increase were similar . One important difference not noted on the

figures was the difference in filter cake . No filter cake formed in test 13

as in test 12, and no air backwash was required . Apparently the different dis-

tribution of aluminum hydroxides formed at the higher pH had different struc-

tural properties . This might be explained from a theoretical basis since the

distribution of types of aluminum hydroxides at pH 4 .0 is different that at pH

6 .5 .

The implications of this difference have not been explored and may be

significant . It may be desirable to provide a thick cake on the external sur-

face of the fabric in order to prevent penetration of the fabric with

for the filter .

Fouling Factor Results

Fouling factor test results are shown in Table 5 for representative

filter tests . The results show conclusively that all modes of filtration for

both wastewaters significantly decreased the wastewaters' tendency to foul the

Whatman GF/C filters . For unfiltered detergent plus AC road dirt wastewater

the mean time required to filter 1000 ml was 432 seconds (for all tests shown

in Table 5) . After filtration the required time declined to 25 seconds . For

unfiltered AC road dirt only wastewater it required 23 seconds to filter 1000

ml and only 10 seconds for filtered wastewater . It is clear that fabric fil-

tration significantly reduced the fouling tendency of both wastewaters used in

this phase .

Column five in Table 5 shows the final volume of filtered wastewater in

the fouling factor tests and the time required to obtain this volume . For the

detergent containing wastewater the final values represent near complete

blinding of the glass fiber filter, and very little increase in filtered

volume could have been obtained by allowing additional filtration time . For

the AC road dirt wastewater, especially filtered wastewater, greater volumes

of water could have been filtered over longer time . Therefore one should

conclude that the fouling tendencies of the two wastewater are quite dif-

ferent, and even more different that Table 5 indicates .

60

Page 62: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

It is difficult to compare the results of the various fouling factor

tests . Generally a maximum value of filtered volume is asymptotically

approached, if sufficient volume liquid is filtered. For the unfiltered

detergent/road dirt wastewater this value was approximately 1200 ml, which was

obtained in tests 2, 4, and 5 after an average time of 2,150 seconds, ranging

from a low of 1,973 to a high of 2,314 . For effluents from tests 2 and 4 the

asymptotic values were approximately 5,500 ml, obtained after 2,160 seconds,

indicating very little difference in filtration efficiency between cross flow

and reverse flow . For test 5 the asymptotic value was approximately 6,300 ml,

obtained after 2,210 seconds . The 14 % increase in final volume was tentative

evidence for better filtration using the Type IV fabric .

For road dirt only wastewater the asymptotic maximum volume for the

influent was approximately 2,250 ml obtained after 550 seconds . Asymptotic

final volumes were not obtained for effluent samples, even after filtering as

much as 17 liters .

In summarizing Table 5 and other fouling tests, one concludes that very

little difference in product water quality exists between filtration modes and

fabric types . According to the fouling test results, Type IV fabric filtered

as well as or perhaps slightly better than Type I fabric, and the efficiency

obtained in the reverse flow method was no different that the cross flow

method .

CONCLUSIONS AND RECODMNDATIONS

Three fabric types with two modes of operation were evaluated to deter-

mine their potential for development into a light weight portable filter . Ten-

tative evidence from one fouling factor test indicated slightly better fil-

tration by Type IV fabric as compared to Type I fabric . Type V fabric was not

effective, which probably resulted from seam leakage rather than poor sieve

action by the fabric . Type I fabric backwashed more effectively than Type IV

fabric, and did not require contaminant build-up for efficient filtration .

The cross flow technique in the internally pressurized mode of operation

did not appear to be a promising technique for this type of wastewater, since

no surface filtration layer which can be hydrodynamically controlled occurs .

The reverse flow technique, which expands the filter fabric on backwashing,

appears to be a much more promising technique . Both filtration methods

reduced the laundry shower/road dirt wastewater turbidity from 24-26 NIU to 3

to 5 NIU, and for the road dirt only wastewater, turbidity was reduced from

14-16 NrU to 1 to 3 NIU . For coagulated/settled wastewater effluent, turbidi-

ties were reduced from the influent value of 24-26 NrU to 4-6 NrU after sedi-

mentation and to 1-2 NrU after filtration .

Backwashing continued to be a problem . Initial rates of pressure

increase for the Type I fabric with detergent/AC road dirt wastewater averaged

approximately 0 .13 PSI/min for virgin fabric, increased to 0 .22 PSI/min for

the second filtration cycle, and increased to as high as 0 .94 PSI/min after 17

backwashes (test 1) . For the AC road dirt only wastewater the initial rate of

pressure increase for virgin fabric was 0 .05 PSI/min and increased to 0 .20

PSI/min on the second cycle . Backwashing was not effective in restoring fabric

63

Page 65: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

pressure drop to the original value, and after backwashing pressure drop gra-

dually increased to unacceptably high levels .

Further development is required to determine additional methods to

reduce contaminant build-up on the filter fabric

64

during reverse flow opera-

tion . Additional methods which may be promising are air/liquid backwashing,

backwashing at higher rates, ultrasonics to remove contaminants, and chemical

cleaning while backwashing .

Pretreatment of feed wastewater with coagulating chemicals appears

promising . This phase showed that pretreatment with high concentrations of

alum vastly expanded the filter's usefulness . The optimal alum dose was 50

mg/l as Al+3 , which would require 9 .4 lb/1000 gal of wastewater treated, or 94

lb/day for a 10,000 gal/day plant . This was calculated assuming commercially

available alum would be used, which is 36 .4 Baume and contains 4 .4 % Al (8 .3 %

as A1203 ) . If pH control were required caustic soda requirements would be 3 .7

lb/1000gal or 37 lb/day for a 10,000 gal/day plant . Additional work is

required with organic coagulants designed to replace primary metallic coagu-

lants . A combination of organic coagulant and emulsion-breaking chemical such

as sodium sulfonate could reduce chemical requirements to acceptable levels .

The technique described by Deane (2) did function as indicated, and should be

further investigated .

The following areas are recommended for future development :

1 . A variety of types of emulsion-breaking chemicals should be evaluated in

conjunction with conventional organic water treatment polymers . The

objective of this work is to find an emulsion breaking/coagulating poly-

Page 66: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

mar combination which would provide the same degree of treatment as the

alum/sodium sulfonate combination provided in tests 12 and 13, but at

much lower dosage . A goal of this work would be to reduce total chemi-

cal requirements to 0 .47 lb/1000 gal or 20 lb/day for a 30 GPM treatment

plant .

2 . Extended tests should be performed with Type I fabric in order to evalu-

ate its ability to withstand repeated washing and backwashing . An

automated filter apparatus would be required which would allow continu-

ous operation without direct operator interaction . Filter fabrics with

several hundred hours operation should be evaluated microscopically to

determine wear and ultimate fabric life .

3 . Continued development with the reverse flow method is necessary to elim-

inate the contaminants which gradually build up on the fabric surface

and increase pressure drop . Possible mechanisms to improve backwashing

efficiency are :

a .

Intermittent backwashing with caustic or other chemical which

could dissolve the contaminants on the fabric surface .

b .

Intermittent "super" backwashing at backwash rates perhaps five

times greater than normal backwashing .

c .

Air insertion in conjunction with standard backwashing .

4 . All testing performed to date has been with the AC road dirt . No test-

ing has been performed with other types of particulate contaminants,

such as bentonite, which have a different size distribution . The very

65

Page 67: DEVELOPMENT OF A TUBULAR FABRIC FILTER

fine size distribution of the road dirt (5 % less than 5 microns) may be

causing a portion of the backwashing problems .

5 . If no acceptable chemical pretreatment can be developed, alternate

detergents should be evaluated which are amenable to chemical pretreat-

ment .
